Massoud had been fighting in Asia Minor before the Battle of Taoli City, he had never been in contact with the British army of Li Lu, and he did not know the true combat effectiveness of the British army at all, before the Persian Empire was divided, this Massoud had repeatedly spoken wildly, saying that if he led his troops to fight the British army, he would definitely not be wiped out like Bayesset, but now that he met the British army, he found that he was a big light enemy."
Retreat, retreat quickly......"
With Massoud's order, the desolate sound of bull's horn began to sound on the battlefield, Massoud's army is a typical ancient army, such an army can fight a tailwind battle, but once there are signs of retreat, the next thing is bound to be defeated, Massoud's army has actually lost control from top to bottom, the soldiers can't find the generals, the generals can't command the soldiers, and they are in a mess.Although Massoud tried every means to regain control of the army, with the exception of some of the Damascus regiments that were still in full formation and their own elite guards, the rest of the troops had become headless flies, especially the Bedouin mercenaries, who did not hesitate to shoot their bows and arrows into their robes in order to flee for their lives, and they were a target, as far away as possible from the British cavalry in shiny cuirasses."
Ah...... watching the army he brought with him being pressed against the wasteland and rubbing hard, Massoud felt a heartache in his heart, but he also understood that this was not the time for heartache, and the most important thing at the moment was how to retreat from the battlefield back to Ctesiphon, he turned his heart and took his guards and the surviving Damascus legionmen, turned his horse's head, and was about to gallop in the southwest direction.He Jin, who was standing on a high place observing the situation on the battlefield, saw that Massoud was about to run, and he sneered in his heart, "Massoud, Massoud, I want to see how .......hard your 'Sword of Ahula' is" Bayezett, who was side by side with him, also put down his binoculars, "General He, Massoud is about to run, I don't know if your 17th Division can stop them?"
Are they cavalry, or outlaws.....""
Hehehe, well, it won't take long to know....."
Hokin smiled and said, "Bayezet, even if we can't catch Massoud in this battle, then we can count it as a big victory, at least for a short time, he doesn't have the strength to harass us.....}
{"Well, we must seize the time to carry out a comprehensive reform of East Persia, realize the political, military, and economic integration with our Britain as soon as possible, and strive to make the Persian plateau completely peaceful before the next great war....."
Bayesset Hongguo said his goal, not paying attention to the puppet Shahan Shaise III on his head at all, and even pointed in the direction of Spahan with his finger, "If it weren't for the use of keeping that little fat man, I would have led the entire East Persia to change its flag a long time ago.....""
Hehehe, when we pacify Persia, find a place in Aphilica, and settle him casually..... people will cooperate with us so much, we won't be able to poison us, right?"
Hearing Bayezet mention Isë III in the palace of Spaham, Hokin laughed too.Just when Hokin and Bayesid were talking and laughing, the remnants led by Massoud had broken away from the pursuit of the Eastern Persian army and the British army, as long as they crossed the Geddes Grass Dam in the southwest of the Balzagan Wasteland, they could completely get rid of the pursuit of the British army and the East Persian army, but what Massoud didn't expect was that someone on the Geddes Grass Dam had taken the lead, he looked at the crimson flag, and a mouthful of blood almost surged up, "This is the rhythm that I want to leave Massoud behind.....""
Your Royal Highness, the enemy cavalry is very small, most of them are infantry, there is nothing to fear......." but his subordinates did not see it that way, "Your Highness, let them know that our Persian iron cavalry is powerful....."
Massoud looked at Ahmadinejad, the captain of the guard, who was eager to try, "Ahmadinejad, you can be sure to rush through those fences???
”It turned out that the enemy occupying the grass dam of Guedes had arranged a special repulsion horse for the cavalry charge, which Massoud did not recognize, but knew that this was an obstacle for the cavalry."
Hehehe, isn't it just a few fences, which can't stop the iron hooves of our Persian iron horsemen....."
Ahmadinejad said confidently, "Your Royal Highness, let the last general lead the troops to rush once, besides, we have no other choice, right?"
”"It's true that there is no other choice, if we can't cross the Guedes Grass Dam, we won't be home....."
After thinking about it, Massoud decided to take a gamble, and he was going to use heavy cavalry to break through the enemy's slightly sparse line.The reason why this Guedes grass dam is important is because it is an important place leading to Ctesiphon, and there are mountains on both sides of the grass dam, only this Guedes grass dam is suitable for marching troops to pass through, according to the normal use of cavalry, Massoud should use cavalry to outflank the two wings, and the terrain here cannot be outflanked on both wings at all, Massoud had to know that the frontal impact of the cavalry is a taboo for soldiers, but in order to escape, he can't take care of so much.In order to block Massoud, Hokin also reinforced the 17th Division with a British cavalry regiment, two artillery battalions, and 2,000 elite Eastern Persian cavalry were also assigned to them."
Brothers, I told you on weekdays, how do you come to meet on a narrow road??"
Guan Sai, the commander of the 17th Division of the British Army, saw that Massoud was showing signs of attack, so he made the last pre-war mobilization, well, the Saiwai man who was not at all frightened in the face of Li Er became a senior officer of the British Army, "Come, tell me, what is it?"
”"The brave wins the !!"
There was an earth-shattering roar from the British position, and there were even some of the most stiff Persian voices in these roars."
Yes, the brave win when they meet on a narrow road, and now the rout led by Massoud is meeting us on a narrow road, should we let them go?"
The pipe plug yelled loudly."
Never let them go!!"
As soon as Guan Sai's words fell, the backbone of the British army took the lead in shouting, "Never let a single soldier go over.....
The soldiers shouted along."
What are the enemies on the other side doing??"
Massoud was a little curious, he saw the infantry equipment of the British army for the first time, and saw that except for a few British soldiers wearing heavy armor and holding spears, the other soldiers were not wearing armor, but all wore a kind of khaki clothes, and they did not hold long knives in their hands, but held a strange-shaped weapon, the weapon was an iron pipe, and there was a knife on the iron pipe, "Do they want to use this knife to fight us?"
What a ridiculous thing it is to have the god Ahura above. ”"Your Royal Highness, these people should be the hateful Jiankun people in the east, and now they should be said to be British, I think they are a pre-war ritual....."
Ahmadinejad took a closer look and said, "Maybe they are praying for their gods to bless them, hmph, flesh and blood are difficult to be iron hooves after all, Your Highness, you give the order, let me lead my brothers to cut down a happy ....."
Massoud is a hero, the hero never takes his fate seriously, he immediately ordered Ahmadinejad to attack the British position, and on the other side, the plug also arranged the position, just waiting for the Persians to come up and send him to death, "Massoud is ready to fight hard, hehehe, tell the artillery to welcome them well....."
With a telescope in his hand, he could see every move on Massoud's side, and he decided to strike first and welcome the Persians.Just as Ahmadinejad was about to lead the cavalry charge, the British artillery was the first to speak, and "Boom" saw bursts of gunpowder smoke coming from the cannon muzzles of the British artillery positions on the heights, and the hot metal projectiles were driven by gunpowder to attack Massoud's cavalry units with strong kinetic energy.This is the first time that the battle-hardened Massoud has seen the power of thermal weapons, he just heard the sound of "boom", and thought that there was thunder in the sky, so he couldn't help but look at the sky, only to see that there were a lot of small black dots in the sky were flying quickly towards them, just in the moment Massoud was stunned, the British army's solid cannonballs and grapeshot bullets specially designed to deal with cavalry smashed down overwhelmingly, and the huge kinetic energy naturally brought huge lethality, even those Persian heavy cavalry in heavy armor were not spared, and this also launched a charge, As a result, it was swept by others first, and people on Massoud's side shouted that the horse neighed, and it was not like words.However, Massoud knew that the more this was the case, the more he had to hurry up and charge, "Ahmadinejad, hurry up and lead your men to rush forward, as long as they enter the opponent's position, their black iron pipes will not be able to do anything to us....."
Massoud shouted at Ahmadinejad, he thought well, as long as his cavalry entered the opposing infantry camp, then the British artillery would be ineffective.Ahmadinejad heard Massoud's command, he drew his sword and swung it into the air, "Warriors of the great god of Ahura, the time has come to test us, let us move forward bravely under the leadership of the god of war Meerut......
After saying that, he grabbed the belly of the horse and rushed towards the British position, and the other Persian cavalry also held spears or sabers, and launched a decisive charge against the British infantry position.Seeing that his soldiers had begun to storm the British position, Massoud showed a few smiles on his face, in his opinion, as long as he took a moment, his cavalry could rush to the opposing infantry camp and kill them.However, what Massoud did not expect was that due to a heavy rain last night, the surface of the entire grass dam became extremely soft, and most of the cavalry of the Persians were heavy cavalry in heavy armor, and in such a terrain, the heavy heavy cavalry could not raise the speed of the horse at all, and the heavy cavalry without speed was a live target, and when Ahmadinejad and his horses stepped into the grass dam of Guedes, they fell into such an embarrassing situation.
